Simple tutorial on how to setup a root and hip control in Maya using constraints and parenting. This tutorial assumes that you already know how to use joints, IK, and FK controls on a character.

Awesome! Thanks!
Hey Nathan, I'm really new to rigging and have a question. I have a Master/Root joint connected to my hips, and a second Hip Joint which is connected to the rest of the upper torso. When I create a Spline IK – I can only do it on the Hip Joint, which means no deformation in the legs. When I create the Spline IK to my Master/Root, it merges into one big ball of mess. What am I doing wrong?
Do you think you could do an IK Pelvis tutorial? Although I use Blender instead of Maya, I know some peeps who could use a pelvis tutorial for Maya.
Thank you! You saved my job!
GOD BLESS YOU!!
